A recent sale of a copy of this one made a BIG splash recently. Nice Marty!

@the420bandito Lord, you and I have probably run each other up on books in past auctions. Ace, along with MLJ and Looney Tunes collectibles(comics, Premiums, toys, etc) are my top 3 primary focus', but i dabble in Baker, Cole, Prize, Harvey, Centaur, tough Romance and more.

Prices have cooled a bit, so i have been able to pick up more again recently. I have decided i don't need to complete all the hero runs, but i'm about 4 to 5 MUST HAVE ones away from being 'satisfied' with my set.

I had to outbid Ramon Schenk to get a copy of Cartoon Spice #5. I consider him to be one of the Charlton Comic experts online. It's a little late to be considered Golden Age, but I'll squeeze in a scan. It's from 1958. It hadn't been listed anywhere before I bought it.

Making another stop on the HIT Comics tour is issue #23, one of the last two covers featuring Stormy. This one is curious because of the fine line detail work and general layout of the art. It has a unique pen/ink style that looks more like Eisner than Crandall to whom the cover is attributed. Perhaps it was a collaborative composition penciled by Eisner and inked by Crandall. Opinions welcome in probing for proper attribution to this unsigned work in lieu of definitive credit acknowledgement...

I plan on finishing my Four Favorites run and calling it a day. I have 75% of the books graded/ungraded but the missing books are impossible. I will most likely leverage my Super-Mystery books to finish it up.

My other interests are skyrocketing - PCH, lady in red, damsel in distress. Things are so crazy I barely bid anymore.

That is a LOVELY book! I have a 5.5.
I'm on the other side: I primarily have more issues of the Super-Mystery run than i do the Four Favorites run. I wanted to complete the SMC run but v3#4 and v6#3 are looking like the two most likely i'll have to live without. Still a few more to go in addition but they seem more attainable.

Of FF, i'd really like a #6 and #10 to call it a day on that run, but both NEVER seem to surface

With all the scary clowns in this circus the only thing missin' is a killer midget clown. Now where am I gonna find a bozo like that, you're thinking? Well, let me see. Ah! Leave it to good ol' Cap to have the solution well in hand...

A book like the one below probably wouldn't do your wallet much good either ...it consumed mine... (CGC, 9.2 OW/W and highest grade), but as damsels in distress go, this Syd Shores cover with Captain America swinging into action to derail The Parrot from '47 is on the right track as well...

Note: Bucky isn't only tied up, he's playing second fiddle to the brunette in the front cage!

Thats an awesome book. I do love those distressed damsels of the 30s and 40s, was watching a Wings 91 last night, but NYCC awaits so I had to pass.

@the420bandito
Yours is in much better shape than mine, but hey, $10 for a Golden Age bondage cover is a steal unless it's literally been used as toilet paper, right? Most of the other books in this series that I've seen are under $20, maybe I'll do a run.
